EMBO & NIH Conference Series

About the Conference

VIZBI 2012, the 3rd international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data - and the first in a series of EMBO conferences - was held 6-8 March 2012 at the EMBL-Heidelberg in Germany. VIZBI brings together scientists, illustrators, and designers actively using or developing computational visualization to study a diverse range of biological data.

The conference featured 22 invited talks that reviewed the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations. Prior to the meeting (5 March), there were also tutorials on several visualization tools.
